One Stop Service Center Initiative (OSSCI) The Florida Center for Inclusive Communities has recently been awarded $120,000 for year one of a three year One Stop Service Center Initiative (OSSCI) grant. The purpose of the initiative is to address barriers to servicing individuals with disabilities at the One Stop Service Centers in Florida through research, collaboration, and education.

Year one of the initiative will consist of information gathering relative to current One Stop Center services and related activities at both the state and national level and the preparation of a comprehensive report that will be utilized by the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council (funder) to initiate solutions to access barriers for individuals with disabilities who utilize One Stop Service Centers. Years two and three of the initiative will involve implementing report recommendations through training and technical assistance provided to three One Stop pilot sites.
